QuANTRELL'S RAID.
A Bangor Woman Reimbursed for
Losses in the Kansas Troubles.
Bangor whig.l

Bangor Whigl
The Legislature Of the State of Kansas
passed a bill for the remuneration from the
funds of the State of those persons who
suffered losses by the famous Quantrel raid
upon the town of Lawrence, Kansas, which
occurred In '63 This raid will be remember
ed as the horrible butchery Of the citizens Of
Lawrence and the burning of the whole town
by band of ruffians or guerillas under the
command Of wretch named Quantrell, who
had sworn vengeance on the citizens Of Law
renee for their vigorous resistance to him
and bis followers during the height Of the
time of troubles on the border with the
bands of desperadoes which infested the
country.
The citizens Of the place had been expect
ing an attack for some time, but as it had not
come. they had grown lax in their means Of
defence, and one morning, entirely unex-
pected, and un0pp0sed, Quantrell and his
masked gang rode into town, called out the
principal citizens from their places OF busL
ness, and homes, and asking. where are
you FROM" coolly shot them down. II the
answer was that they were from the North.
In this way more than 200 were killed in
cold blood, while a number escaped with
difficulty. The villains afterwards set fire to
the place and left with tooty obtained from
the different residences and business places.
Only one of the guerillas ever paid the penal
ty Of his crime and he was shot down by a
negro.
The people Of the raided town were left in
very poor circumstances and the railroads
furnished free passage to all who desired to
go or return to the North, many taking ad-
vantage of this kind offer to make their way
back. Among those who lost in the raid Is
Miss Emily Soule,' of this city, who was
visiting her brother, deputy sheriff in
Lawrence. Miss Soule's loss was principal
ly in wearing apparel, amounted to $50, and
she has recently received certificate for
that amount from the Kansas Legislature.
Her brother has received one for $1,000, her
sister, mother, and the rest of the family for
different sums, the whole amounting to
about $1,000. No amount above 81 500 Is to
be paid to any one individual.
The certificates are payable in 1890, but
begin bearing interest this year. IL has been
a long time to wait for the just remuneration
for the losses sustained, but 1t has come at
last, and the action Of the State Of Kansas
in giving it is most eommendable one.

Games tOday-Salem at Portland, Lynn at

The Portlands took first place In the New

fight they have made to get where such cir
cumstances could put them on top.
Lowell is cautioned not to be in too much
OF hurry to erect pole for the pennant.
Portland has room on its staff for it, and

UNJUST SUSPICION.
Topsham's Citizens Believe Charles
e. Haskell Was Innocent.

BRUNSWICK, August S-The officers Of
the town of Topsham, who were present at
the hearing last week in the case of that
town versus the bondsmen of Charles III.
Small, authorize an emphatic denial of the
recently published report that evidence was
there submitted duplicating the late Charles
E. Haskell in the alleged defalcation of the
towns money. They say further that in
their judgment such evidence does not ex-
ist. j. F. Chaney, the present chairman of
the selectmen, was one of the board for sew
eral years while Mr.. Haskell was treasurer,
and F. G. Whitehouse is now. and has been
for several years, one of the auditors. They
declare that Mr.. Haskelps accounts were
always remarkably correct and show no
shortage whatever. The opinion of the
town officers is undoubtedly the opinion of
the town. The citizens of Topsham believe
Mr. Haskell to have been an honest man
and the attempt of the bondsmen to bolster
up their defence by casting aspersions upon
his character, arouses a feeling of indigna-
tion in that community.

Men who Think They Secured the
Capture of Graves.
Especial to the Press ]

AUGUSTA, Aug. S.-The scramble after
the reward for the apprehension of Graves,
the murderer of the game wardens, is be-
coming quite interesting. City Marshal
Whitney of Bangor, who was assisted by
Officer Allen of Bangor, seems to have the
best claim, it being through the efforts of
those officers that Graves was arrested and
brought to Maine. At the hearing before
the Council tomorrow it is reported that the
California officers, who made the arrest at
the request of Marshal Whitney, will put in
their bid through an attorney from Port
land. Herbert A. Penney of Amherst, a
relative of Graves, will also ask for por-
tion of the reward on the ground that he
was instrumental in the capture by furnish
ing the Bangor officers with information
which gave them clue to Gravess where
abouts. The Council will be told by Marshal
Whitney's attorney, however, that he did
give him some intelligence as to Graves's
refuge in California, but it was nothing in
addition to what they already knew, and the
agreement was between. them that unless
something which they did not know of was
impaired Penney should have no claim.
Sheriff Fields and Deputy Sheriff -Devereaux
OF Hancock county, to whom Nc Farland
gave himself up, will through their counsel
Hon. A. p. Wiswell, ask for $500. for the
capture of this man, on the ground that it is
half the reward offered by Governor Robie
for the apprehension of Mcfarland and
Graves Immediately after the murder.

Trouble With Coal Operatives.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug S.-The en-

ators of Old Forge, recently complained of
injustice by the docking boss. They asked
Jermyn to remedy the matter. He asked if
they were Knights of Laber, and being told
that they were, he discharged them. When
the men went to get their pay they dema nd
ed the full amount in cash, but as
usual large deductions were made for
goods obtained at the company's store
Such stores are contrary to law, and the men
sued the firm and got judgment for the
money withheld. Some of the men had
accepted their payments, but refused
to give receipts in full. Jermyn had
one Of these arrested for obtaining money
under false pretences. This man then had
Jermyn arrested tor perjury. Jermyn, on

and decided on the dates for the trial races.
1t was decided to sail them Sept. 10, Is, and

will be sailed on the following day. Com.
modore Forbes has carefully looked into the
matter of sailing the Puritan in the trial
races, and has decided not to enter her. He
admits that the Volunteer is too much for
the Puritan, and that she is the better yacht
to sail against the Thistle. This acknowl-
edgement by Commodore Forbes is manly
and shows that he is unselfsh. He will.
however, hold the Puritan In readiness in
case of accident to the other yachts. The
